Re: [ST] poor performance on second start



OK, then this sounds a little different, although I suppose that
ultimately the same components could still be involved.  The 'reset'
that you get with key off/on sequence almost always cured the symptom I
speak of.  Look on the bright side -- if the problem is readily
reproducible, then there's much more likelihood that it can be tracked
down quickly   =:o)
